5 + 2/3 *5 - 4/3 
5 + 2/3*5 – 4/3 = 5 + 0*5 – 1 = 4

Name two application layer protocols.
TELENET, SMTP

What are the typical sizes of the main memory and hard disk of a modern desktop computer?
Main memory = 4, 8 GB DRAM
Hard disk = 500 GB , 1 TB

Is a two-dimensional array passed as a value or reference argument to a function? Explain your answer by writing a function prototype illustrating this.
The two-dimensional array passed as a reference argument to a function.

Define a C structure named str that has integer i, an integer array of size 10 called arr, and a character c as its members.
struct str
{
int i;
int arr [10];
char c;
}


The size of the address bus and data bus of a CPU is 16 bits and 32 bits, respectively. What can be said about the size of its internal registers and address space?
Size of internal registers = 32 bits
Address space = 2¹⁶ = 64 K


What is the full form of SMTP? For what application is it used?
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Used for email.


Mention two advantages of a DBMS over file storage of data.
Controlling Data Redundancy, Sharing of Data, Data Consistency etc.

What is a foreign key in an RDBMS?
A foreign key is a column or group of columns in a relational database table that provides a link between data in two tables. It acts as a cross-reference between tables because it references the primary key of another table, thereby establishing a link between them.

What is the binary representation of 0.125 (decimal)?
0.125 (decimal) = 0.001 (binary)

Step 1: We multiply 0.125 by 2 and take the integer part
0.125 x 2 = 0.250
Integer part = 0
Fractional part = 0.250
As the fractional part is not equal to 0 so we copy it to the next step.

Step 2: We multiply 0.250 by 2 and take the integer part
0.250 x 2 = 0.500
Integer part = 0
Fractional part = 0.500
As the fractional part is not equal to 0 so we copy it to the next step.

Step 3: We multiply 0.500 by 2 and take the integer part
0.500 x 2 = 1.000
Integer part = 1
Fractional part = 0
Now the fractional part is 0 so, we stop here.

Step 4: The calculated integer part is as followed.
Step 1: 0
Step 2: 0
Step 3: 1

To find the binary we have to scan the integer part from top
So, 0.125 (decimal) = 0.001 (binary)

Mechanics of Fluids (Solved Numerical Problems)

Numerical The surface Tension of water in contact with air at 20°C is 0.0725 N/m. The pressure inside a droplet of water is to be 0.02 N/cm² greater than the outside pressure. Calculate the diameter of the droplet of water. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Solution Surface tension, σ = 0.0725 N/m Pressure intensity, P = 0.02 N/m 2 P = 4σ/d Hence, the Diameter of the dropd = 4 x 0.0725/200 = 1.45 mm Numerical Find the surface tension in a soap bubble of 40 mm diameter when the inside pressure is 2.5 N/m² above atmospheric pressure. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Answer: 0.0125 N/m Numerical The pressure outside the droplet of water of diameter 0.04 mm is 10.32 N/cm² (atmospheric pressure). Calculate the pressure within the droplet if surface tension is given as 0.0725 N/m of water.

Design of Electrical Systems (Solved Numerical Problems)

Important note There is something wrong with this question paper. It seems that instead of "Design of Electrical Systems" the IEI has given problems from "Electrical Machines". You should raise a complaint to director_eea@ieindia.org in this regard. Numerical A 120 V DC shunt motor draws a current of 200A. The armature resistance is 0.02 ohms and the shunt field resistance is 30 ohms. Find back emf. If the lap wound armature has 90 slots with 4 conductors per slots, at what speed will the motor run when flux per pole is 0.04 Wb?​ (AMIE Summer 2023, 8 marks) Solution The back EMF (E b ) of a DC motor can be calculated using the formula: E b = V - I a R a   Given: V = 120 V I a = 200 A R a = 0.02 ohms Substituting the values into the formula: E b = 120 − 200 × 0.02 = 120 − 4​ = 116 V Now, let's calculate the speed (N) at which the motor will run using the given flux per pole (φ p ). The formula to calculate the speed of a DC motor is: N = 60×E b /(P×φ p ) Wh...
